Goal kicks/punting

Organisation

Every goal has a goalkeeper. The balls are divided up among the goals.

Process

The goalkeepers play against each other using goal kicks/punting on the move or throw outs. 1.goal kick
2.punting
3.throw out
Resources: 2 field goals.

Tip

: Use punting techniques for drop kicks, frontal volley shots or sideways shots of idle/static/stationary balls, after a pass on the move or after a throw out.
Shot and throwing techniques:
- The standing leg should be placed 30-40 cm to the side and be level with the ball.
- The upper body is bent slightly forwards over the ball.
- Foot swings from the top down.
- Arm/foot coordination for shots/passes is characterized by the following features:
a) Swinging movement with the right leg: right arm goes back, left arm goes forward
b) Swinging movement with the left leg: left arm goes back, right arm goes forward
- Goal kick technique for instep shots: forward section of the foot points down, ankle is tense and the upper body is bent slightly forward over the ball. Contact point is the back part of the instep. To shoot the ball further a slight supine position is allowed. -Inside/instep shot: the ball is partly played with an inside shot and partly with an instep shot. The standing leg is positioned to the side of the ball and the player’s upper body is in a tilted position. Toes point down, similar to the foot’s position for instep shots.
-Punting techniques for drop kicks: with drop kicks the ball is met by the instep of the foot at the exact moment the ball touches the ground.
- With frontal volley punting techniques the upper body is bent slightly forward. The ball is thrown slightly forwards with both hands and met at a low point (not too high). The ball obtains high pressure and high accuracy. The contact point is the instep. To reach a large punting range, it makes sense to stand upright and lean backwards slightly.
-With sideways bicycle-kick punting techniques the standing leg is positioned next to the ball and the player’s upper body is in a titled position. Toes point down, similar to the foot’s position for instep shots. The contact point is the instep, the standing leg is obliquely angles and the ball is guided or thrown to the standing leg.
- For side throw outs the arm is stretched backwards like a javelin thrower and the ball is placed on the palm of the hand. The stretched arm is brought back to life again and stays by the ear. If the goalkeeper throws to the right, his left leg moves diagonally forward. If he throws to the left, his right leg moves diagonally forward.

Organisation:9-12 obstacle figures (alternative: stanchion with standing foot) are placed 6 m in front of the goal. The goalkeepers stand in the goal, the goalkeeper coach (GC) 11-16m away in front or next to the goal with the balls.

Process:The balls are deflected off the obstacles according to the height and accuracy of the shot, so that the goalkeeper is forced to react fast due to the balls change of direction.
Learning aid: 1 Full-Size goal, 2 mini-goals, 12 poles

Organisation:The 4-4-2 formation is constructed as an offensive variant in a 2-4-4 diamond formation. It involves the positioning of 10 outfield players and a goalkeeper on the playing field. The players are positioned according to their positions in four lines (goalkeeper/defense/midfield/strikef...

Process:This is a 4-4-2 linear scaling with the midfield diamond, where a player now takes up an attacking position. The aim is to use the whole width and depth of the field in order to maintain a larger playing space for the formation of the team's attacking game. The first line is the goalk...

Process:3 Pairs (3 teams) play on each field. One pair attacks, the other one defends. These rolls change after every attack. When the attacking pair (red) has finished the attack (goal attempt, goal or interception), they leave the field and are replaced by the team that is waiting outside (...

Process:Station One Right -- Player has 10 seconds in place running with a resistance band held by coach, Jumps hurdles 3 cycles - Forward, Back, Right, Forward, Back, Left -- sprints at Dummy and cuts toward the poles, receives a ball from coach, dribbles poles, then at the inside dummy, cut...

Organisation:Regular two-goal game with chooseable number of players and extra attackers.

Process:The restriction is that a pass can't be played straight forward or sideways. There allways have to be an angel on the passes. This forcess the player to consantly move into angel and natural triangles. When a straight pass is played the ball automaticly goes to the opponents.

Organisation:Build-up a goal and two starting cones (A+B, as well two orientation cones (I+II, as seen in the drawing. The players spread up equally next to each starting cone, each one having a ball.

Process:Player A begins with a pass with direction to the orientation cone II. In the exact moment of his countermovement, player B starts a sprint to the cone II, in order to catch the ball before passing the cone. Player B circulates the orientation cone and tries a goal shot out of his mov...

Organisation:Set-up of a goal, one orientation cone and two starting cones (A + B)as seen in the graphic. The players disperse equally besides each starting cone. The balls should be kept next to the player at the cone A.

Process:The red player at cone A begins with a flat-angle pass in the direction of the orientation cone. In the moment of his strike-out movement, the blue player begins a sprint from cone B to the orientation cone. While doing this he automatically moves in the direction of the ball in order...
